Flowers from the Heart
Part 2
By: Maria
Quatre hurried upstairs to one of the space bedrooms, because if someone came looking for him then they'd go to his room and he wanted sometime to himself. Quatre locked the door and sat against the door, fighting back the tears he knew wanted to fall.
'My garden...flowers...gone...and he...did it. No! Trowa...he didn't...do it on purpose...he wouldn't. Would he?! I won't let myself cry and be weak...I won't!' Quatre got up with fire and strength glowing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and went back downstairs. Quatre walked towards his garden.
"Why do you think Trowa did what he did to Quatre's garden?"
Quatre stopped 'That's Wu Fei talking. Who is he talking to? And why about Trowa?' Quatre walked towards the Wu Fei's voice, which was coming from the library.
"I don't know. Trowa is a hard person to comprehend. He does things without much feeling." came Heero's voice.
"But that was Quatre's garden. He'd never; at least I thought he'd never do anything to harm the guy. Maybe I got the wrong picture of him...He did something very dishonorable if he did it to hurt Quatre and should be made to pay for it." Wu Fei commented looking strict about it.
"Maybe his uncaring self took over and he did it on purpose..."
Quatre couldn't believe what he heard. Everyone had agreed with his earlier thoughts...that Trowa had purposely destroyed all the flowers. Quatre left to go try and fix what was left of his garden.
"Hey! You two have it all wrong!" Duo broke in as he walked into the room.
"Duo...What are you doing sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!" Wu Fei yelled.
"Ease dropping isn't a good thing, Duo." Heero added.
"Well this is my business. We're all friends and I was there when this happened so I KNOW what happened. And Trowa didn't do anything to Quatre's garden. It was the mower that did the damage..."
"...And who had the mower? Trowa." Wu Fei informed Duo.
*Duo sighed* 'Why does everyone interrupt me when I'm speaking Duo thought.'
"Yeah, I know he was in charge of the mower but it wasn't his intentions to have Q-mans garden damaged. I was there and it was my fault it got destroyed I...I was distracting Trowa. Duo told them looking guilty.
Heero felt a tingle of jealously when he heard Duo had gone to Trowa and not him, but he wouldn't show any such feelings.
"How was it your fault Duo?" he asked.
"Well isn't it obvious! I distracted him...like I always seem to do to the rest of you! I challenged him to a passing game...since no one wanted to play with me.." Yet again he was interrupted.
"And you're saying Trowa actually agreed to play a game with you! They're must be something wrong with him." Wu Fei said shaking his head.
"Let me finish, damn it!!" Duo yelled irritated. "I was being sneaky I knew I'd lose and that he'd say no, so I told him whoever lost would finish the mowing. I knew it was a great idea because Trowa was having a hard time with the lawn mower. As you can see he took the bait and then somehow during our game the mower ran away and into quatre's garden. *sighs*. It was my fault."
"Your big mouth and stupid ideas get you and anyone around you into trouble." Heero scolded.
"I really don't think it was Duo's fault." Wu Fei said getting an odd look from Heero. *Wu Fei clears his throat* "Trowa should have showed some responsibility. He got too distracted in the idea of getting out of mowing that he didn't eve shut off the mower. And Duo...if Trowa is so innocent then why did Trowa push the mower into the lilies and THEN shut off the mower?! I think he did it for some selfish reasons. Not liking flowers or something."
Before Duo could answer, "Maybe you think that because you don't...me" Trowa said walking in and leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Which made Duo slightly nervous that a fight might break out.
"I wouldn't harm Quatre that way. I wouldn't have let my feelings toward anything get in the way and harming Quatre. I didn't push the mower into the lilies. The only thing you got right was...I wasn't being responsible." Trowa said all this not blinking even once or signs of being intimated by what he heard Wu Fei say.
"Hn." Wu Fei said. "It sure looked like you pushed the mower."
"Tell us what happened, then Trowa." Heero said walking across the room lean against the other wall.
"It was like Duo said...I ran after the mower...tripped on the garden hose and grabbed a hold f the mower pushing it forward."
The others were silent, and absorbing the information. Heero believed Trowa, after all Trowa wouldn't lie and his beloved Duo stood by Trowa. Duo knew Trowa was innocent, he just hoped Heero and Wu Fei believed him and didn't cause some kind of fight. Wu Fei didn't want to see anything harmful happen to the gentle Quatre and if Trowa and Quatre broke up it would be harmful for him. Trowa need to take responsibility this time...
"Then I suggest you go and apologize to Quatre, Trowa. Maybe it wasn't intentional but I believe you hurt him and he deserves an apology!" Wu Fei said firmly.
Trowa nodded his head. "You don't need to tell me I was on my way to do just that." And he left the library to go and look for Quatre upstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Garden~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quatre sat down on the ground and observed the shredded up flowers. He could feel an overwhelming sadness enter his heart. Quatre began to pick up the shredded pieces of flowers and put them in a basket, he could still use the pieces. Sighing he decided to go out and buy more flowers to put in the garden and grow.
'Maybe tomorrow I'll go and see what I can find.'
"Quatre..." came a familiar voice from behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Upstairs~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trowa looked in every room upstairs and then ever room downstairs. And he didn't find Quatre anywhere.
'He must have gone back outside to the garden.' Trowa thought and headed for the side door. 'I hope I didn't hurt him and I hope he'll forgive me for not being saving his garden.' Trowa felt extremely guilty when he had seen Quatre's sad face. 'He has to hate me...I ruined something very precious to him. I said I'd go after who ever ruined his garden, yet I was the one who ruined his garden. But that doesn't mean it won't grow back or he can start all over again! It's not like I did it because I dislike flowers. Cause I don't.' Trowa didn't know what he could possibly do to make it up to his dear Quatre. 'Maybe I can offer to help him in his garden...that could make him happy and show him I don't dislike flowers. Hmm...' Trowa reach for the side door curtains and looked out.
There he was Trowa's little one picking up the shredded pieces of flowers. 'Now's a good chance to go and offer to help him along with apologizing.' Trowa thought. *Taking a deep breathe* Trowa opened the side door and walked outside.
"Quatre..."
Quatre seemed to tense up a little bit with the sound of his name being said.
'Trowa's here. Why, is he here to gloat what he did and in my face. Stop it...Trowa is a nice guy...that's why you fell for him.' Quatre slowly turns around to look at Trowa.
Trowa looked into Quatre's beautiful blue eyes and he could feel himself melt. "Quatre, I'm really sorry for what happened to your garden!"
Quatre looked at Trowa as he spit the words out, as if he was trying to hurry and spit something disgusting out of his mouth. 'He was forced into telling me that he was sorry. But who could possibly force Trowa to do something. I'm taking things too offensively.' *Quatre sighed*
"Here I want to make it up to you. I'll help you work on your garden." Trowa got down on his hands and knees to help Quatre.
"No!!"
Trowa looked up at Quatre surprised at the harshness in his tone.
"I'm sorry. I can do this on my own. So...don't worry about it Trowa. Thank you for the offer, But I'd feel better doing this on my own." Quatre said looking away from Trowa and getting back to picking up the flower pieces.
Trowa wasn't going to argue with his loves requests so he got up slowly and turned to go back inside. As he reached the door he couldn't help but turn back around and look at Quatre pick up the pieces. 'I'm sorry, Quatre. I'll make it up to you one day.' And he walked inside the house.
Quatre could feel Trowa's eyes on him from behind. 'Just go Trowa. I can trust...allow you to be around my flowers. Not if you dislike them so much you'd ruin my garden without realizing you were hurting me as well'
